Five Star Gift Ideas

There are a few different directions you could go with a gift based on her interest in African culture! Here are a few ideas:

1. African-inspired jewelry: Look for earrings, necklaces, or bracelets made with traditional African beads or featuring African-inspired designs.

2. African art: Find a beautiful piece of African art to decorate her room, such as a painting, woven wall hanging, or carved sculpture. You might also look for African print fabrics that she can use to make her own decor (e.g. throw pillows).

3. Books about African culture: Consider picking up a few books that delve into African art, history, or folktales. Some titles to consider include "The Hatmaker's Sign: A Story by Benjamin Kwakye," "The Girl Who Married a Lion: And Other Tales from Africa," or "Africa: An Encyclopedia for Students."

4. Traditional African clothing: If your granddaughter is interested in fashion, consider getting her a piece of traditional African clothing, such as a kente cloth dress, dashiki shirt, or African print skirt.

5. African-inspired crafts: Check out DIY kits and craft supplies that allow her to make her own jewelry or decor inspired by African culture. She might enjoy making her own beaded jewelry, learning to tie-dye fabrics, or using a block print kit to create her own African-inspired designs.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
